evan pov

my name is evan de alverych, i'm the second son of duke ivon de alverych and i'm also the shadow of my brother...

my brother Albert de Alverych always shines and is great in all fields, different from me who can't do anything

that's why I'm often compared to him, after my mother left me and went to marry another man

my brother often beats me and my father doesn't care about me. my face is similar to my brother's, we are like twins because my brother and I get our faces from our father not our mothers

In fact, because our faces are so similar, people sometimes mistake me for my brother

blasphemy because of my brother's bad attitude is sometimes directed at me just because I look like alber, I hate my face

no one wants to approach me or play with me, it's all because they think I'm alber. i want to have friends...

until I went to a festival in town, I saw everyone having fun and joking together

at that time I also saw that there were many ordinary people dancing, when I was about to join in the dance my collar was suddenly pulled by someone it turned out that there were 3 teenagers who mistook me for alber

"hey alber! finally i caught you!" say???

'Who's this!?' evan thought

I tried to let go of his grip but couldn't, that boy took me then threw me and my back hit the wall of a house

"you guys misunderstood! I'm not Alber! I'm Evan! I'm Alber's younger brother!" he said

"Heh? Since when did you have a younger sibling? didn't You often say you don't have one?" say ???2

"That's right, even Duke Alverych never said that he had 2 children" said ???3

hearing that makes my heart ache, so far I have never been considered by them as if I were just the wind. Those guys kicked my knee which caused a lot of pain

"This is the payback for what you did to us ahahah" said ???1

he took a knife and slashed my knee leaving a deep cut

"This way you shouldn't be messing around with us anymore" said ???3

when he wanted to stab my knee with his knife, i pushed the guy away then ran away from them

because of my injured knee, I was limping walking towards the crowd but when I got there no one helped me

someone made eye contact with me but then they looked away as if they didn't see me, from their faces it was clear that they were scared

Seeing the 3 children who had been dragging me looking for me, I rushed to hide in the alley near the fountain

I sat in one corner of the alley, blood kept pouring from my knees and my legs were getting numb

'Am I going to die from blood loss here?' evan thought

I gave up and closed my eyes but a moment later I opened them again because I heard the sound of approaching footsteps

The sound got closer and closer until finally the person was standing in front of me and I could see the person clearly

his green eyes like emeralds and light brown hair are really beautiful, moreover his dazzling face really amazes me

his eyes glazed over and in his hands he was carrying a pillow but I couldn't let my guard down, he might also have the intention to hurt me

"what are you looking at! I'm not an object that you can stare at!" I said

even though I screamed very loudly but for some reason this child didn't budge at all and his face was still flat

'Does he have such a grudge with Alber that he's not even afraid of being shouted at!? what should I do!?' evan thought

"You're hurt" he said

I was silent to hear that child's words, the tone of his voice that spoke to me was very gentle. no one ever spoke to me in that tone except my mother

the bandages he brought were so many that they could bandage the whole body, moreover the medicine he brought was more than 3 kinds

"...do you always carry that much medicine everywhere?" evan said

The boy paused to think about something after hearing what I said but he then regained his senses and continued taking out items to be used from his small bag

"...don't know" said the boy

he washes my wound very slowly and gently, even if he did it roughly I wouldn't feel any pain because my leg is already numb

I stared at his flat face as if not feeling the slightest fear even though we were in a dark alley

moreover he is not afraid of me, it makes me curious and attracted to him

"You are not afraid of me?" evan said

"Who are you that I should be afraid of you?" noha said

this is the first time someone answered my question like that, he really isn't afraid of me nor angry, does this mean I have a chance to befriend him?

"my name is evan de alverych, are you afraid of me now?" evan said

"You're still human right? Then I don't need to be afraid of you" said Noha

I just wanted to make sure if he would be scared after knowing my name, but after hearing the answer

my heart was beating very fast and my face started to feel hot. I remember what my mother said before she left me

"One day you will meet someone who will accept you as you are and see you as yourself and not someone else, I'm sure that person can definitely be the best partner for you" said Evan's mother

So...the person that mother referring to is this person! we were fated to meet by god. the person who will be the best partner for me

"w-what's your name?" he said

first of all I have to know his name so that later I can go to his place and often meet him

I felt nervous and my voice became stuttered

"My name is Noha de Aprice" said Noha

noha de...aprice!? youngest son of duke osius de aprice!? Rumor has it he's a suicidal man and his family doesn't care about him. he also doesn't have a mother, just like me, we really are destined to be together as soulmates!!

'from now on I will continue to accompany you and give you my love' thought Evan

after bandaging my knee, noha immediately stood up and intended to leave. From his eyes it was clear that he was sleepy and very tired

but unconsciously I caught his hand and he quickly glanced at me with his sleepy eyes

"What...?" noah said

"Can I meet you again and play with you?" evan said

noha just answered my question with a nod which means he agreed! it made me so happy that i couldn't hold back my smile

'I will definitely come to see you...my first love...' thought Evan

noha left and now I'm alone in this dark alley, after being there for quite a while. my feet started to feel better so i stood up and went home to the alverych mansion with a really good mood because today i met my first love

"I'm curious what are noha doing now" evan said

Noha, who was drinking tea with the twins, suddenly sneezed which made the twins glare at him

"little brother are you sick!?" said amon

noha just shook his head, avion then put his palm on noha's forehead

"not hot, do you catch a cold?" said Avion

"I-looks like a flower powder got into my nose that's why I sneezed hehe" said noha

"Thank goodness! You just make me worry" said Amon

he stroked noha's head and they continued their picnic

'I remember the kid I met earlier his name is Evan de Alverych, somehow I feel like I've seen that name somewhere' thought Noha

he opened the screen and searched for evan's name and sure enough, evan de alverych...was the second male lead

in the novel, Evan is known as a person who is very obsessed with the female lead and is willing to do anything for her

What's more, the cause of the downfall of the Duke Alverych family was because of Evan's actions and because Noha had met him

that means now he's already involved with the plot of the psychopath's second male lead. imagining that made noha feel dizzy

'my lazy life is getting away from my grasp' thought noha

he felt dizzy then fainted, avion who realized it swiftly held noha's body, amon put his hand on noha's cheek

"He's hot! ardia! ardia! call the doctor quickly!" said amon

Ardia who heard that quickly ran into the mansion to call a doctor while Osius who heard the commotion immediately ran out and approached them
